WFH

From a nice place to sit, to sun protection, working outside can be a dream come true, if you have the right setup.

Now is an excellent time to take advantage of all your backyard has to offer. Sunlight, fresh air, and blue skies are hard to come by these days, but there is an abundance right outside the backdoor. And while your work from home set up might be a thing of beauty right now, that doesn’t mean you can’t take it to the next level. Try working outside, even just for a little bit. It’ll make your day that much better, and provide you with fresh air and fresh ideas. Here’s what you need to get all set up. 

FOR HAVING A COMFORTABLE PLACE TO SIT

Purple Royal Seat Cushion

No matter what kind of chair you're sitting on outside, this seat cushion will transform it into the desk chair of your dreams. It will ergonomically help you sit up straighter, and will make any chair comfortable as it can be. Plus, it comes with a cover so it won’t get dirty out there.

FOR STAYING CONNECTED

Rock Space WiFi Extender

You’re probably fine, but just in case, it’s a good idea to have a WiFi extender so you don’t drop out of that Zoom meeting on accident. This will increase the range your router reaches so you can stay connected, even while you’re outdoors.

FOR KEEPING BUGS AT BAY

Repel Citronella Candle

I am currently covered in mosquito bites because I tried this without a citronella candle. Now though, the mosquitos are kept away and I’m able to work with no distractions. Except for that one itch.
